Keto Buttery Pan Fried Salmon
This Keto fried fish recipe is packed with flavor and fats and is quick and easy to prepare. Tender salmon fillets are pan-fried in oil until golden, then basted with aromatic rosemary, garlic, and a generous helping of melted butter. This makes a great lunch or dinner protein option when you are short on time. Perfect served with your favorite Keto sides.
Can I Use a Different Fish?
We have chosen salmon for our Keto fried fish recipe as it is naturally rich in healthy fats and omega 3’s. If you prefer, you can swap this for a fillet of your favorite white fish. Sea bass would make a great replacement. Be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.
Serving Suggestions
This versatile Keto fish recipe is perfect as a base protein to build your lunch or dinner from. For a lighter lunch option, we suggest serving with a Keto Mediterranean inspired salad. For a heartier dinner, this buttery fried salmon is delicious served over a bed of cauliflower rice or with a side of low carb mixed vegetables. You will find an array of complementary dishes in our sides section.

Add the garlic after you are sure the salmon is up to cooked temperature internally

You don't have to remove the skin. Eating the skin fine to eat if it is nice and crispy.
